List Of Skylanders: Giants (And Release Dates)

20082012

Due to the popularity of the original Skylanders: Spyro’s Adventures release thread, I decided to do one for Skylanders: Giants as well. If you have any information or if any of my information is incorrect, please post in the comments below and I’ll adjust this thread. I want to make this as good as a resource as it was for the previous Skylanders game! I’ll update it as I learn more information, so bookmark it and join us on Facebook!

These pictures are a little blurry, but you can make out some of the new Skylanders. Click on the pictures to see a larger version.

strangely enough I have seen Thumpback & Eye-Brawl at a Gamestop in New Port Richey, FL…they only had two of each…didn’t know at the time..but this must have been a fluke in shipment…I should have grabbed them…ugh

You’re right, it is Jet Vac in the regular starter pack instead of Pop Fizz. My mistake. As for the legendary three pack, I don’t know about all the Toys R Us stores, but the one near me isn’t supposed to be getting it until November or December.

ShroomBoom is available othe rplaces. The only part that is Gamestop exclusive is the cannon being gold. Every where else it is silver.
Word is, no exclusive characters this time. The exclusives will all be repaints

I contacted Activision by postal mail to compliment the game and characters they have spent so much time making. It was a 2 page compliment. AND GUESS WHAT!!!!?!?!?!? They sent me the complete set of ALL the series 2 skylander giants along with all 5 of the giants I was missing.

I finally bought Wham Shell after waiting forever by ordering it on line from Best Buy. Then I go to TRU and all the new giants had come out and they had a special case for free if you spent $100 on skylander stuff. It had a Wham Shell included! Now I have two!!!

I’m not sure about the UK but it is not in the US yet.
I think it is part of the 3rd wave which is scheduled for release in January. If you stay in touch with me, I could be on the look out for it in the US in case it is released earlier. Honestly, I think you should offer him a picture of it or give him Hot Head instead…until you can get it.

hi im a really big fan offcourse with the doughter and husband and it is saying that in america thumpback is out and even lc jet vac offcourse i know whe are behind now whit the skylanders collection but now i have found hot head but on activision it is said that lc jet vac is out now but not here in europe or belgium for that mather i would really like a notice when they are all coming out off the giants whe have all the 32+ skylanders adventure but she (my doughter) cant waint she even try to play assasins creed (against my better judsment ) and she want to have the new skylanders but why do they wait so long before they hit the shelves because in the first skylanders whe had them in 2 months offcourse whe looked at it severall times not reallising what the game is all a bouth but now where hooked on the game the hole family likes it young and old but everybody wants a fave so now my faver’s are flashwing ,slam bam ,giants hot head , legendary bouncer, lc prism breack but im waiting for lc jet vac .hope the waves comes faster so everybody can have a great chance too find the one faverite.

Hot Dog was released in the Gamestop triple pack with Scorpion in the name on 1/10 or so in the US. I was told by GS that they had exclusive rights to Hot Dog for one month before the single packs would come out. If that is true, then single packs of Hot Dog could be available as early as Feb 10th….or so….

finaly i found hot-head in belgium but i hear that the release off thumpback was on black friday but here i hope to find him in belgium whe even have legendary bouncer so now she have 6 giants but still waiting for the rest though thumpback eyebrawl and ninjini. sometimes i have the feeling the kids need to wa&it too long and getting bored off waiting and dont want to play it anymore but i need too say now my little one she’s got 65 skylanders 54 figures and the rest are the g.cannon and the other adventure packs also.

I am from Canada and would like to know the release date for thumpback?? does anyone know hwen it will be released in Canada? my son asked for it from Santa and I was hoping to be able to get it for him. If anyone could let me know i sure would appreciate it. Thanks.

nothing there is no jet vac liight core in belgium for sale in the stores yet only whe can do is sitting by and wath the commercial on tv and the sales on internet but why does anybody know. even game mania the best gamestore here dousnt even say anything or know anything. frustrated no activision??

think early jan. 2O13 FOR BELGIUM .THEN again WHE GOT SPROCKET FLASHWING AND HOTHEAD FOR GIANT BUT the light core jet vac is the only one whe are waiting for now cause everywhere else he’s been released but then again the people in uk are waiting for flashwing and sprocket w.t.f. is wrong in the comercials you see even thumpback the wale now its olmost like they do it on perpush. but no worry whe will get them but offcourse as last the stores have to many people who love to make money of them thats why i say limit it to one or two figures of the same likenness to a customer including the ones that are working in sutch stores
in belgium its nearly inpossible to get an exclusive one or legendary one
so yes me and the kids are dissapointed because this is not the way to play the game.thx

On the website they are labelled by number. I am in the US and don’t see hot dog in any of the triple packs…but I may have missed it. Can you give more specifics as when I search for hot dog on the site…I don’t see it. Thank you!

yes slambam is in belgium allready but thats for belgium what about the rest of the giants what i hear is that they scatter the hole giants figures over the year then i mean all series 2, light cores ,giants and the new figures like pop fiz and so on but whe are happy for now that is whe have all 32 series 1 no legendary’s all the adventure packs and the golden cannon pack for the giants but cant wait to have all the 2series light cores new figures and the last 3 giants thumpback ninjini, and eye brawl

What do you mean that you are “missing” an adventure pack? Do you mean it is not available to you? Have you tried GameStop (see post by Joe B). The pack has “Scorpion” in the title…see If Gamestop still has it for pre-release offer. I put in my order at the local store, but it looked like you could do it online if you pay for ship as well. Available for pick up 1/1/13 per current projections.

Justin Kupsick(14:28:13) :

I saw hot dog for a january 1 release in an adventure pack at gamestop still dont know about Ninjini, Thumpback or Eye brawl, been searching everywhere for when they come out.

great a battle pack whit zap and hot dog with the scorpion striker but i have heard that they will be scattered over the year lets hope not and i want scarlet ninjini too but if its gonna be possible??

Ok, so what I’ve gathered from reading the many posts on the page, is that:
Ninjini, Hot Dog, Zap, Scorpion cannon, (item,) maybe eye-brawl, and thumpback will be released on (in the US) on Jan. 1, 2013. This is Activision’s 3rd “wave”. Note: there is a good chance that there’ll be a 4th wave too.
It also seems that Activision has already made eye-brawl and hot dog characters, etc., but there were mistakes in the shipment, and some of those characters ended up in stores. I think it would be a good idea for parents to print out a picture of the skylander that their children want, and let them put two and two together, and figure that while they don’t have the character on Christmas Day, they’ll receive it later as an extra Christmas present, etc.

but when your son of 3 years old ask Ninjini and it is the only gift he ask to santa, if he don’t have it, the magic of Christmas will be done… As parent, we are very ubset… cross fingers that it will be before Christmas…

yes but now i have located the site that is saying that they are goiing to be released 23 of decemeber but whe have beeing dissapointed for many times over so d’ont promise your kid something she or he or they cant have till the next month hopfully whe will get a lucky year and maybe be can surprise our kids for real that’s christmas all about.

All of the release dates on here is completely wrong. Most of them are released, but some are still not released yet, like Ninjini or Eye-Brawl (Which I hope they take awhile to release because he just creeps me out) Thumpback, well, I haven’t seen him, but I have seen Tree Rex (Starter Pack), Bouncer, Swarm, and Hot Head. If anyone has seen Thumpback, plz reply and tell me where you have seen him! I just want to see him

Yeah, sorry about that everyone. I don’t actually work on this site anymore. I’ve since moved on to BrokenJoysticks.net I do apologize about not keeping this up-to-date, but for whatever reason Activision & ToysForBob are very tight lipped about the release dates of the final Giants. I don’t understand why, but it is what it is.

As for Hot Dog, it will release 1/1/13 at Gamestop only. Then after a month it will release everywhere else. They have “exclusive” rights for a short period

Just got done shopping through 5 stores (target,Walmart,best buy, toys r us, GameStop) just wanted to share what I have experienced: based on the list above: legendary is exclusive to toys r us and slam bam and ignitor and jet vac come in a three pack and are out now. Along with legendary bouncer. Dragon fire cannon and golden dragon fire are different box sets golden is only at participating game stops. There is also a target exclusive for crusher called granite crusher. Thank you for the post

whe now have in belgium jet vac light core and legendary stelth elf too but no info for the rest of the giants thumpback eye-brawl or ninjini and yes 1 jan.2013 there should be a battle pack to come out whit zap s 2 scorpion strike and hot-dog but what whit the bigger giants who know’s? my gess is that they wont tell till there acctualy out because i have beeing on a qeust for legendary stelth elf but in one store i found light core jet vac and ordered legendary stelth elf so for now whe are sill waiting for the 3big giants 4 light cored giants smaller ones pop fizz hex and so on and ofcourse the hot dog but i have bought new toys and i must say they are verry pleased whit the things they dont yet know about but they know that skylanders made a mistake again because she has all 32 giants and adventure packs and the ones that are out now so she is happy she has 60 skylanders (total) and the adventure packs and the first golden cannon battle pack so she have a total of 72 items to play for now so yeah whe can wait but activision you have lost allot of money now.

i just came back from the stores here in belgium nothing new however its a small wave too its lightning rod 2s , single pack cynder , stelth elf and eruptor thats all that i have located on the net and website of toys r us so im still waitng for the 3 giants thumpback, ninjini, eye-brawl , and the cute hot dog (lol)and the 4 light cores hex pop fizz schroom boom and chill version but for now ok they have our attention for those. i just wanted to see whit my own eyes but no luck my doughter also is waiting for the ninjini though but she hass a collection map off them so she’s still happy and upgrades her legendary stelth elf and light core jet vac. she’s also happy whit the limited edition card off master eon :) happy x-mas

then they are gone in all the stores here in belgium though in ghent you wont find any of the new ones like lightning rod or even shroomboom lc or the cynder single pack hope its before neew year or on new year’s day whit one or two giant ones like ninjini and eye-brawl that would be a graet newyearday whit the family. offcourse whe live in europe so who know’s whe don’t even have a toys r us in ghent belgium only 4 stores 2 game mania’s dreamland and bart smit but its a little store

ok just have look at gamestop and i was verry currios of the the scorpion battle pack but now i have seen anough they gonna prospond it to 1/9/2013 so i dont know about you but what’s up whit that. sorry gamestop its verry disturbing for the kids if they even wanted to wait for in januari but now you’ve done it again dont set a date iff your not sure SIMMPLE

Howdy! I know this is kind of off-topic however I had to ask.
Does running a well-established website like yours
take a large amount of work? I’m completely new to blogging however I do write in my journal everyday. I’d like to start a blog so I will be able
to share my personal experience and feelings online. Please let
me know if you have any ideas or tips for brand new aspiring blog owners.
Appreciate it!

think its for all the stores but like i said before they can and they hopefully not this time changes the date’s like its nothing only thing i can say for sure is that ninjini is the last giant that will come out normal ninjini that is but im talking from belgium here and take a look on gamestop no info on date but there is news on it. also look at full official skylanders giants releases up to wave 4

yes i know because i have the triple pack bevore i had the light core jet vac witch is awesome by the way the lights are verry cool on his belt ,vacuum on the back and the gun is verry cool too see it light up but yet tooday i havent seen( wave 3 ) lightning rod S2, stelth elf S2, schroomboom Light core and the rest prism break S2 but already have legendary stelth elf just now i want to go for hot dog eye-brawl thumpback ninjini and the four light cores that’s my gaol now for my doughter’s list greetings from belgium

tio i dont know where you cant find them but hopfully tey release a giant like thumpback ,eye brawl or ninjini because now i experience that america is the first to release light core chill and schroomboom and even hot dog is out on gamestop but i like skylanders and my kid too whe have all but 8 new ones? 4 light cores, 3giants and hot dog wave 3 is not out in belgium YET

same whit the info i give the people here just want to let you know that its the gamemakers give wrong info around the world but still i did not see light core schroomboom or chill lc or another giant even the wave 3 wasn’t out in belgium in ghent though peace out. ill wait till they arrive in the the store game mania or so

ok is see thx but here whe only have 3 stores that sell them and the last on was light core jet vac and legendary stelth elf nothing of wave 3 here in ghent and the greatest store dreamland has closed for rebuilding jea its verry hard to find skylanders too complete it :(

Thumpback is out in the late january in the UK and he’s out in the USA in Gamestop and eyebrawl is out on February 3rd UK and he’s out in USA ninjini is coming in 12th February hope that helped please like it’s 100% true

Ummm… Yoshi indicated “Gamestop” and in the 2nd post “online”. Just go to gamestop.com and search for Eye Brawl. At the time of this response they have both Thumback and Eye Brawl available for order online…

Thanks, Howie! Thumpback is now gone, but I did get Eye Brawl! I think other people were checking out at the same time and Thumpback was taken out of my cart during the payment process. Oh, so close! Clerks at the local gamestop stores told me that they have had these Giants (EB and TB) in the past week or two. So…perhaps the wave is actually bringing Thumpback to us at last! Thanks everyone for your great posts!!!

here in belgium eye-brawl and thumpback are out sure they where hard to find but it was released 19 januari in my local game mania store and its great to have them its more off a giants game to the great eye that gives light awesome and he looks though too the first upgrade that my doughter did made him look even stronger and for me he is one off the strongest giants too, thumpback looks verry cool offcourse but he is a little slow for my feeling but my kid is 4 and now she plays more whit all the giants but the wave is great just wave 3 whe didnt had them just legendary stelth elf now waiting for the other 2 last new ones ninjini and hot-dog with whe also do not have yet but now whe can wait see you arround portal master’s :)

I found thumpback in wales in can’t belive wales has thumpback eyebrawl, ninjini will be coming out in 1 February or the maximum is 13 febuary hope that helped ninjini fans that is the UK release date in don’t know about the us release date.

Great! Thanks for sharing! I guess I’ll be doing another round of skylander stalking for Christmas 2013. Hope we have a great blog like this on which to communicate. Thanks everyone who left such awesome tips. We are still waiting on Ninjini. Any day now, right?

I don’t work on this site anymore that’s why I haven’t updated it. I apologize, but I have moved on to BrokenJoysticks.net – that’s why it hasn’t been updated in so long. Again I apologize, I do visit every once in a while to see some of the comments, but I haven’t put up a new post on the site since August of last year.

NEW GAME IN THE MAKING OF SKYLANDERS SWAP FORCE for 4/2013
now they are 16 figures and you can make your own skylander cause off the 16 they can make over 250 characters how about that check skylanders swap force figures but i really like to have all giants and spyro’s too so it still have a long way to go but i just knew that skylanders would push it treu the end cause now they have a new way to play games for axample now you can make one figure in three pieces.

offcourse AND I LIVE IN EUROPE AND FOUND A SINGLE PACK OFF HOT DOG AND LC schroomboom now whe are waiting for the ninja called ninjini hope to find her and scralet too for the rest the series 2 are out here in bart smit wrecking ball ,spyro just lc hex, lc pop fizz ,lc chill and the one tech element drobot series 2 so FIVE more and the collection is complete for the normal ones not the glitter ones or legendary’s or so but that’s it for belgium here looks cool the new swap force figures and only 16 and you can make over 200 figures.
